I am trying to add a button that will send me an email when someone click on it.
I saw that I need to send this variable- $valueDoc->title
someone can help me to use mail function to send an email with this variable?
Thanks a lot

Where I am wrong with this?
every time I am refresh the page it send an email how can I make it send just on click?
Code: Select all
$from = 'broken@domain.com';
$fromname = 'BrokenLink@domain.com';
$subject = 'BrokenLink';
$body = $valueDoc->title;
$recipient[] = 'myemail@gmail.com';
JUtility::sendMail($from, $fromname, $recipient, $subject, $body);
echo '<a href="#" onclick='sendMail()'>Broken Link</a>';
I put it in the end of default.php at file view

Yeah as you can see I not learning anything, all I do is guessing
so I have a php code that can send email and it work.
I can make a button that call this page or I can put that code in the file view.
if I put it in different page I don't know how to send this variable - $valueDoc->title to mail.php
if I put the code in the same page every refresh it send and email so I need to put in inside a function and trigger it with onclick but I don't manage to do it.
I try a lot of things and search the internet but I don't find a way to make it stop sending email every refresh, if I am putting the mail function inside function I don't manage to call it with onclick what I am doing wrong?

The mail function can be called only by PHP, so you need to send some form data to work with php again and send the email.
